She farmed and set up a stall during the day, and boiled medicine and polished ink at night; Shen Yan settled accounts and wrote deeds for her, protecting his beloved wife from any grievances.
The relatives who were waiting to see the joke were dumbfounded: the dilapidated courtyard was turned into a big brick house, and the sick Yangzi also went from being a child student to being the top scholar.
After entering the capital, the powerful men laughed at his humble background, while the noble ladies laughed at her for only being able to grow vegetables.
One of the couple silenced the ministers with their articles in the court, and the other made the whole city jealous by relying on their vegetable gardens and account books. They teamed up to slap everyone who looked down upon them in the face.
